About the role

About the Role

We are looking for a high‑level designer who can think conceptually, execute flawlessly, and confidently engage with clients. This is not a junior or execution‑only role.

Must‑Have Requirements (Non‑Negotiable)

  • Strong portfolio showcasing branding, digital, and campaign work
  • Proven experience leading projects from concept to final delivery
  • Confident in client‑facing presentations and feedback sessions
  • Ability to think strategically, not just execute briefs
  • Experience mentoring or guiding other designers
  • Strong understanding of brand systems, typography, and layout

Software Requirements (Essential)

  • Adobe Creative Suite (Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign)
  • Figma (essential)
  • Solid understanding of digital design workflows

Nice to Have (Advantageous)

  • After Effects or motion design experience
  • Web design experience (Webflow, WordPress, or similar)
  • Experience with AI design tools (e.g., Midjourney, Adobe Firefly)
  • Agency experience

Key Responsibilities

  • Lead and conceptualise design projects from ideation through to completion
  • Work directly with clients to present and refine creative solutions
  • Guide and mentor junior and mid‑level designers
  • Manage workflow to ensure projects are delivered on time and within budget
  • Collaborate with strategy and account teams to deliver cohesive work
  • Maintain high creative standards across all outputs
  • Contribute to broader creative direction and agency thinking

Who This Is For

  • Designers who can own projects, not just execute tasks
  • Individuals comfortable working in a fast‑paced agency environment
  • Creatives who want to produce high‑quality, impactful work

If you’re not confident in your portfolio or client‑facing ability, this role is likely not the right fit.

Benefits

  • None, this is a freelance role.
